Fresno Area Express (FAX) Route 28 New Route – 2020 Changes
In August 2020, Fresno Area Express (FAX) Route 28 underwent a major service change that effectively created a new route.
What changed:
On August 3, 2026, Route 27 was rerouted to no longer serve 28 along . Instead, it now runs along Dakota Avenue from the Manchester Transit Center (MTC) to Peach Avenue Stop and Move+1. The new alignment provides transfer connections to
Route 34 at First Street
Route 38 at Cedar Avenue
Clovis Transit Route green at shaw KMPH
The route turns around at clovis east KMPH.
Why the change:
The shift was driven by the County of Fresno’s plan to centralize its Department of Social Services operations into a new location in the Manchester area. This site is expected to serve 1,500 clients daily, making rapid transit access critical Stop and Move.
Impact on riders:
Fresno State riders lost direct service; Route 9 still serves Shaw Avenue but with half the number of buses to campus Stop and Move.
The new route is shorter, so buses start their trip about 9 minutes later than before Stop and Move.
The MTC customer service building on Blackstone did not reopen immediately; the temporary FAX MTC office remained inside the Manchester Mall KMPH.
Other related changes:
On the same date, Routes 27, 41, and 45 resumed regular service to the MTC, marking the reopening of the Manchester Transit Center after years of construction Stop and Move+1.
Summary:
The 2026 “new route” for FAX Route 27 was a Dakota Avenue–Peach Avenue alignment replacing the old Shaw Avenue–Fresno State segment, aimed at serving the new County of Fresno DSS headquarters and improving transit access to the Manchester area.
